Package : phpmyadmin
Date : May 3, 2013
Affected: Business Server 1.0

Problem Description:
Updated phpmyadmin package fixes security vulnerabilities:
In some PHP versions, the preg_replace\(\) function can be tricked
into executing arbitrary PHP code on the server. This is done by
passing a crafted argument as the regular expression, containing a
null byte. phpMyAdmin does not correctly sanitize an argument passed
to preg_replace\(\) when using the Replace table prefix feature,
opening the way to this vulnerability (CVE-2013-3238).
phpMyAdmin can be configured to save an export file on the web server,
via its SaveDir directive. With this in place, it's possible, either
via a crafted filename template or a crafted table name, to save a
double extension file like foobar.php.sql. In turn, an Apache webserver
on which there is no definition for the MIME type sql (the default)
will treat this saved file as a .php script, leading to remote code
execution (CVE-2013-3239).
